Honestly, I can't really pick out anyone else that really can describe my childhood other than Kirby Puckett.

Growing up in Minnesota, he was the guy. He was the guy who led the small market Twins to two World Series titles and gave everyone pride to say they were from Minnesota.

This was the guy who signed my baseball card when I was a little kid after I moved to Detroit, and I still have that memory in my brain perfectly today as one of the defining memories of my childhood.

Rest in Peace Kirby. Minnesota will always love you.

He will be missed.
